In Popular Culture

The Quaker figure who adorns Quaker Oats' products packaging has been anonymously referred to as "the guy on the oatmeal box" in various episodes of Nickelodeon/Klasky-Csupo's Rugrats, in reference to one of Chuckie Finster's multifarious childhood phobias. Specifically, Chuckie finds the man's hat to be scary.

The Quaker Oats Company is a sponsor of the Chicago Fire Soccer Club of the MLS. Starting next season, their logo will be imprinted on the team uniform.

Famous quotes containing the words popular and/or culture:

    The poet will prevail to be popular in spite of his faults, and in spite of his beauties too. He will hit the nail on the head, and we shall not know the shape of his hammer. He makes us free of his hearth and heart, which is greater than to offer one the freedom of a city.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    When a culture feels that its end has come, it sends for a priest.
    Karl Kraus (1874–1936)
